I have today found my text messages received tone faulty - only vibrate. Have search the web for a solution and nothing worked. Just tried again and found the following worked:

Go into "settings" after pressing the "Apps" icon.
Press "More" at the top of page.
Go into "applications manager".
Press the left area at the bottom of the screen, which brings up options including ""Reset apps preferences". Go into it and press "Reset apps".

Try to go to
Settings>Sound>Volumes/Notifications
Adjust its volumes. If it didn`t notify you with the sound you set, then your Galaxy s2 does not have the capability to detect whenever its full charge. But it may light its notification led to green when its fully charged.
Or you can set an alarm, but first you need to know how long is the average time your phone needs to be charged, then alarm your phone by that span of time. There, manual notification :)

Hi every one.... i was having the same problem with my new samsung s3 :(
i was very upset and wanted to contact the warranty authority, but the android website helped!
adjusting volume will not help at all... juston you home screen, scroll down from top to bottom and press the notification icon tomake it on... itwill lit green and you can enjoy ur sms ringtone again... it worked! thanks for anyone who put it up on the website.

Someone said: THANK YOU so much!!!! This has been driving me crazy. What an odd extra step (it should at least be set to "on" by default... anyhoo not a huge deal but really annoying. Was thinking my phone was broken and I've only had it for 16hrs.

Someone said: I am using s3 n today same problem started, no sound on sms arrival but only vibration is there. I couldnt find notification icon?? Plz help if anyone knows the solution. I tried to clear the cashe from app manager then all then messaging but it worked for first msg only n then same problem.

Select your text message icon. Open up your settings tab(lower left button on phone) this will allow you to adjust only your text settings. Scroll down and select settings>> scroll down under Notification Settings and make sure the box is checked to make sounds and show icon in status bar when you receive messages.

If you have AT&T, uninstall the AT&T update for messenger. You have to go into settings>application manager>. Find AT&T Messages and uninstall updates. I also did it to AT&T Smart Wi-Fi. Doing this restored my notification sound for texting with the upgraded Jelly Bean.

I would go into Settings, Sounds, Notifications and check the volume. It may be all the way down for those notifications OR there may be no notification sound assigned at all. Either way, you can take the appropriate action there.

Someone said: Anonymous suggested the notification tab - - - it didn't work............... UNTIL I realised that in the very same tab "sound" button was set to mute. It works like a bomb now! Thanks so much for this post!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone said: Dude if you were in front of me I would kiss you. Serously. I just bought it and I had this problem and couldn't figure it out, even the guys at the store didn't know what the hell to do. Finally. Thank you. It works. Now just to be able to change the sound.

jenny.hewlett3 said: I need some help also. My notification sound is working fine, my husband & I both have the Galaxy s3. On his phone with a words with friends notification it shows the opponent's picture also. On my phone it does not show a picture, just a gray square with the "w" in it. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
